Trump can try all he want to pretend he is some kind of victim of Musk’s insanity, which is clearly the strategy. But he enabled and bearhugged and took all that dough. Dems cannot allow Trump to decouple him from Musk, now or ever.

Tonight we learned that it was indeed Andry, the gay man sent to El Salvador because of his “mom” and “dad” tattoos, who an American journalist saw sobbing as guards slapped him repeatedly and shaved his head.

He is an innocent. And Trump sent him to a torture prison.

Bring them back!
Jenny Cohn @jennycohn.bsky.social "One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, I'm not a gang member. I'm gay. I'm a barber.' I believed him. *** He "began to whimper," as his head was roughly shaved, "folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell." He "asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again." Photo of Andry featured on MSNBC. Chyron reads: IMMIGRATION ATTY. SAYS ASYLUM-SEEKING CLIENT WAS DEPORTED BECAUSE OF MISREADING OF TATTOOS A photo of Andry’s wrists showing his “mom” and “dad” tattoos. Each has a crown above them, which ICE thought made him a gang member. A photo of Andry having his head shaved in El Salvador, his hands clasped together in prayer.

A Skadden attorney resigned today, citing the firm’s decision to strike a deal with Trump amid pressure campaign on law firms.

“[I]f my employer cannot stand up for the rule of law, then I cannot ethically continue to work for them,” the former Skadden lawyer, Brenna Trout Frey, wrote on LinkedIn.
Brenna Trout Frey • 3rd+ Former Attorney at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Mea... 1h • Edited • © + Follow Skadden Resignation Today the executive partner of my former firm sent us all an "update" that attempted to convince some of the best minds in the legal profession that he did us a solid by capitulating to the Trump administration's demands for fealty and protection money. Fellow Skadden attorneys: If you agree with Jeremy London's position that the firm should not engage in "illegal DEI discrimination," should devote prestigious Skadden Fellows to the Trump administration's pet projects, and should help "politically disenfranchised groups who have not historically received legal representation from major national law firms," (taking into account the robust pro bono work that major national law firms already do), then by all means continue working there. But if that email struck you as a craven attempt to sacrifice the rule of law for self-preservation, I hope you do some soul-searching over the weekend and join me in sending a message that this is unacceptable (in whatever way you can). As one of my more eloquent former colleagues put it: "Do not pretend that what is happening is normal or excusable. It isn't." There is only one acceptable response from attorneys to the Trump administration's demands: The rule of law matters. The rule of law matters. As an attorney, if my employer cannot stand up for the rule of law, then I cannot ethically continue to work for them.

Hegseth: My job, as it said, on top of that, everybody's seen it now. Team update is to provide updates in real time, general updates in real time. Keep everybody informed. That's what I did. That's my job.

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away.

They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

Elon Musk says that no one has died because he slashed humanitarian aid. I went to South Sudan to check if that's true. It's not. Meet Peter, Achol and Evan, ages 10, 8 and 5. The reckless actions of the world's richest men are killing the world's poorest kids www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
Opinion | Musk Said No One Has Died Since Aid Was Cut. That Isn’t True. (Gift Article)
A journey through the front lines of global poverty shows that when the world’s richest men slash aid for the world’s poorest children, the result is sickness, starvation and death.
